You might consider changing your colours to something like black text on an ivory background. Easier to read, though just a suggestion. I'm told that this colour scheme provides the best on screen readability in fact.
I would ditch the picture on the front page (you and your mates ordering a meal?) as the body language says, 'I'm uptight' and I don't think it says, 'Welcome here, and keep browsing.' Or that sense of tension could be your brand ... perhaps. Pictures Pull People... but not nude ones unless you want to be
that kind of site.
Could you make it so that after you've visited a link, it changes the colour of that link? It's an aid to navigation, telling you where you've been. You might think about making it so that when you hover over a link, it highlights the link in a different colour: almost like a menu select feature on a software package (another aid to navigation).
Did you remove photos of yourself? Well okay, maybe you were about to become the target of an outraged Slackware fan who would have shot you from a rooftop in true 'Leon' style-eee.
God forbid.
This site may be useful for how not to do it. How Not To guides are good!
One more point if I may?
Typography: people ignore correct or even mildly okay typographical layout on the web. What you do well is, you have nice short paragraphs when you write a rant. What is less good is, your lines are too long and contain too many characters. This makes it much harder to read text on a screen, which is already a low res. device compared to paper.
Aim to create a line length of roughly 60-80 characters. In other words, try not to do more than 12 words per. line, and between 8-10 is better. There are very good reasons for this. Pick any book you like off your shelf and look at the line length: you'll find it matches what I said quite well.
Good typography is a very beautiful thing.
. Also I use only gedit and bluefish for my designs...WYSISYG's tend to generate more faulty code...
